To all whom it may concern:

I, WILLIAM F. MCGRARY, of Baker City, Oregon, have made a new and usefulImprovement in Register-Package Envelopes, for use in transmittingregistered packages through the mails, of which the following is aspecification:

The aps Nos. 1 and 3 are cut in square form, so that when foldedtogether, with the short end on the under side, they form one side ofthe pocket complete, with the same double reception for the tuck as inthe old form of envelope. The flap No. 2 is out in the manner fullyshown in my drawing; and my invention consists in gummin g only thesides 4 4, as shown, so that when it is folded and gummed upon flap 3 itforms the receipt-pocket 5, for the safe and convenient deposit of thenecessary receipt required by law to be attached to the outside of allregistered packages in transit. The circular cut in the edge of thereceiptpocket is designed to guide the eye and the thumb and nger to theexact location and proper place to seize the paper and remove andreplace it with ease and facility.

Claim.

I claim the envelope having the external receipt-pocket 5, constructedsubstantially as shown and described.
